How long does it take to get to Incheon from say Jongno 3-ga?
I'm thinking of heading there tomorrow just to go somewhere different. Might try and go to Wolmido. Is that easy to find from the train station? Any other recommendations for Incheon?

This site will help you with the trip time. Can't help you with what to do once you get there.

Sapa,

I lived in Incheon for a year. You can find some information in English here:
http://www.icjg.go.kr/tour/english/tourist/wolmi.asp

There is an express train between Yongsan and DongIncheon, but you would have to switch at both stations to the local line. Most of the time that train is on the same platform anyway, so it's not that hard.

There are short boat trips you can take from Wolmi-do that go out past some of the islands and then out under the large bridge that connects the mainland to Incheon International Airport. If you go, bring some snacks to feed the seagulls (you can literally hold your hand out and they'll come by and snag it out of your hand).

Very close to DongIncheon, there is a Chinatown as well. Up above that is a park with a statue of Douglas MacArthur commemorating the Incheon Landing during the Korean war. There is also a large cage up there with some birds in the park as well.
